“…In case the phosphate surplus is negative the positive phosphate surplus is set to zero. The phosphate surplus on the farm can be found by subtracting the phosphate place of the farm from the phosphate produced on the farm (9). The phosphate produced on the farm can be found by taking the amount of phosphate consumed by the cows and young cattle and subtracting the amount of phosphate that will be bound in the milk or growth of cattle (10).…”

We investigate whether milk quota abolition in the Netherlands is likely to lead to a shift towards more intensive farms, and whether the legislation introduced by the Dutch government to prevent this from happening is likely to be effective. To this end, a mathematical programming model is developed and applied to ten Dutch dairy farms of varying size. The mathematical programming model allows us to calculate shadow prices, which we use to evaluate the stability or likelihood of a shift in the farmer decisions in our model. Our results suggest a strong increase in intensity for the largest farm type when milk quotas are abolished, while further intensification is limited for the smaller farm types. Although most farm types increase the number of cows on the farm, for the smaller ones this can only be achieved when the costs of expanding decrease considerably. The new legislation introduced by the Dutch government to prevent strong intensification appears to be successful.

“…When production quotas such as those for milk are abolished, the industry structure (i.e. the number of farms and farm size distribution) is likely to be influenced [4,9,48], which may have important consequences for the land use and landscape in rural areas dominated by dairy farming, such as the Netherlands.…”

“…The low impact of the allocation scheme on the exit rate is consistent with a study by Rosendahl and Storrøsten (2011) on trade in CO 2 emission certificates. Buysse et al (2012) claim that quota systems have had an effect on structural change, although they are motivated by environmental issues. Quota systems also affect the supply chain (Wu et al 2018).…”
